These expository notes serve as a reference for an accompanying post Morales-Jimenez et al. [2018]. In the spiked covariance model, we develop results on asymptotic normality of sample leading eigenvalues and certain projections of the corresponding sample eigenvectors. The results parallel those of Paul [2007], but are given using the non-Gaussian model of Bai and Yao [2008]. The results are not new, and citations are given, but proofs are collected and organized as a point of departure for Morales-Jimenez et al. [2018].

  1. Limiting eigen-structure of spiked sample covariance matrices under missing observations

    math.ST 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The top eigenvalues and eigenvectors of sample covariance matrices under entrywise missing data follow Gaussian limits whose parameters depend on the missingness probabilities.

  2. Estimation of the number of principal components in high-dimensional multivariate extremes

    stat.ME 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    AIC and BIC rules for the number of significant principal components in multivariate extremes are developed and shown to be weakly consistent under a spiked covariance model.

  3. High-dimensional ridgeless least squares interpolation under spiked covariance structures

    math.ST 2026-08 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    For ridgeless least squares with a spiked covariance, the asymptotic prediction risk is a closed-form function of spike eigenvalues, the aspect ratio, and target-spike alignment.
